Yep, 64bit can be in your future if you want, and right now there probably isn't any reason for you to switch. If someday you increase your RAM to get the performance increases that will give you, then yes, go 64bit and then programs that are written to take advantage of 64bit will see a significant increase of performance.
You could give it a go anytime you want too really, no reason you can't, and then you can see what you may have for programs that won't run on 64bit...very few if any for most of us.
i deffinitally think its worth it to go x64 i have been running 64 win7 and 32 xp, i never noticed anything wrong with the x86 xp, but once i started running 7, in x64 i realized how much different it really is. dont get me wrong i know the o.s's are different, but ive noticed a bunch of things i think would also work better in xp if i went 64, so i got it, now i just need to install it, but i need to wait till i back everything up, and ...junk. Im going all 64! i just hope i can find the x64 xp drivers....
Eventually everyone will be going with a 64bit OS. At the present time however there is still quite a bit of things to be seen in the way of driver support for existing hardwares where no XP Pro 64 or Vista 64bit drivers were ever written.
Even MS cautions to be you can locate all necessary drivers before considering any 64bit edition as the main OS. The 32bit 7 however knocks XP out of the loop. The 64bit Windows itself is simply another but improved platform for computing in general.
Intel Centrino Duo T2350 sucks noodles. Pure noodles...
It's a 32-bit chip. Not only that, my comp would die with a 64-bit OS on it.
And you'd want to have more than 1GB of memory for it to even be worth it to use a 64 bit OS, preferably 4GB and up.
